What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Measurement of the renal resistive index (RRI) is one of the standard diagnostic procedures for assessing kidney disability clinically. This method is expected to be used for the same purpose in many kinds of animals, including monkeys utilized in conventional toxicology studies. To establish a practical RRI measurement procedure in cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), RRI was measured by ultrasonography in the spine position in conscious and ketamine-immobilized monkeys. The RRI of conscious monkeys and ketamine-immobilized monkeys could be measured consistently without excessive abdominal or thoracic movement. Consequently, the variability of the RRI in conscious monkeys was comparable to that in ketamine-anesthetized monkeys. No sex difference in RRI was noted between the two conditions. The mean values and SD of the RRI of 48 healthy monkeys (n=24/sex) were 0.55 ± 0.07 and 0.50 ± 0.05, under conscious and ketamine-immobilized conditions, respectively. The RRI of ketamine-immobilized monkeys was significantly lower than that of conscious monkeys, correlating with the decreased blood pressure and heart rate. In a monkey model of cisplatin-induced acute renal injury, which was characterized histopathologically by minimal to mild renal tubular necrosis and regeneration, the RRI was increased beyond the cut off value (mean + 2SD, 0.68) associated with the progression of renal pathogenesis. The present results suggest that ultrasonographic measurement of the RRI in conscious monkeys would be a useful tool in conventional toxicology studies evaluating drug-induced renal injury.
